// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates the examiner's decisions across multiple art units within TC 2100. The 26% allowance rate is calculated from all decided applications in those units combined. Pooled figures describe historical pattern across different subject areas and are not predictions about any individual application. Art-unit-specific records are available separately and may differ from the pooled aggregate.

These are aggregate statistics from this examiner's past public record — not predictions about any specific application. The per-art-unit figures below show how the record varies across art units. Our approach to patent prosecution →

METHODOLOGY & DISCLOSURES

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Griselle Corbo Roland has a public record within Technology Center 2100. Statistics are computed from publicly available USPTO records, refreshed on a recurring schedule. This page's data was last updated June 25, 2026.

Figures are rounded for display. Pooled sample: 185 applications.

Where this page compares an examiner's allowance rate to an art-unit average, that comparison is a factual description of the public record, not a characterization of any individual examiner's conduct or competence.
